Relay contact sintering detection logic: BYDRecent Research Landscape

Unintended contact welding in high-current charging circuits poses severe safety risks and hardware damage. These innovations implement diagnostic control loops to detect switch degradation before catastrophic failure occurs.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Relay contact sintering detection logic?

Undetected contactor welding failure

(51)evidences

Mechanical fusion of relay contacts prevents circuit isolation during shutdown or fault conditions. Reliable detection of this failure mode ensures high-voltage safety and prevents catastrophic short circuits in vehicle battery systems.

Unreliable power transistor switching

(47)evidences

Mechanical contacts in high-current feeder and drive systems frequently fuse together due to arcing or thermal stress. Detecting and preventing this failure mode ensures system safety and prevents unintended power delivery.

Inaccurate relay welding detection

(39)evidences

Inadequate detection of excessive current during charging and discharging cycles leads to component failure. Preventing these events ensures circuit integrity and prevents thermal runaway in vehicle electronics.

Undetected high voltage leakage

(20)evidences

Inadequate monitoring of insulation integrity between high-voltage battery circuits and the vehicle chassis. Preventing catastrophic electrical faults and ensuring passenger safety through real-time failure detection.
